Campers go from one exciting activity to the next adorned in costumes which match the theme (think Alices, mad hatters, rabbits, playing cards, pocket watches, hearts etc.). Sarah F. and her counselor wear identical mad hatter costumes that they found in Camp Simcha Special’s very own well stocked costume closet. In pottery, campers work on the super fast spinning pottery wheel, and made mugs, bowls and even sushi plates. They can’t wait to come back to paint their pieces. Later, campers began making their very own mosaic mirrors in the arts and crafts room which overlooks the gorgeous lake. At another activity, campers choose from a wide selection of ribbons and make pretty (and/or funky!) headbands. Then the queen of hearts invites everyone to a tea party on the field. The table is piled high with hors d’oeuvres. Campers enjoy miniature tuna sandwiches, pastries, cut up fruit, and heart-shaped cookies. Lace parasols hang and glittery butterflies adorn the field. Every moment in Camp Simcha Special is filled with excitement and smiles.
